You and me got the whole day off
Take a trip to Vincent Van Gogh
But the line went halfway 'round the blockAnd we're looking for a place to rest
Every seat in every bar was set
So we turned back to The Grand HotelAnd the rain came hard
A million people on a protest march
Every choice, every path was mistakenYou and me got the whole thing sussed
Gray man is shadowing us
Wild conspiracies turn to dustHear the sound of cathedral bells
Cash ringing at the gates of Hell
And fairground hooligans push and swellThey're the darkest days of a free man
Lying in the streets of Amsterdam
Nearly fell underneath the tram
But I picked myself upEvery temptation and device
All the diamonds and the spice
I would give anything for the sight
Of an honest man, heyEyes swim in emptiness
I was looking at a hotel guest
He blew me a big sarcastic kissAnd the Lord walked in
With a monocle and lips so thin
Saw the bar man wink as he poured his brandyThey're the darkest days of a free man
Lying in the streets of Amsterdam
Nearly fell underneath the tram
But I picked myself upEvery temptation up in lights
All the diamonds and the spice
Could take profit from the vice
Of another manAmsterdam
Cold, cold
Cold, cold
You belong
